The Queen’s coffin has arrived at Buckingham Palace ahead of lying in state from Wednesday evening.
She was taken from St Giles’ Cathedral to Edinburgh Airport before being flown back to London, with the national anthem playing as the aircraft taxied.
Princess Anne accompanied her mother’s body, and the prime minister was among those waiting when it landed at a rainy RAF Northolt on the outskirts of west London.
Thousands lined the route as her coffin was driven along the A40 towards the centre of the city.
There were cheers as the hearse pulled in to Buckingham Palace, where it will rest overnight.
